Snow Dancer (Ghost Tiger Saga: Book One)

A world of harsh winters is the only one Iro Hiroki has ever known.
He is a third-generation Yukimusha, the finest band of warriors sworn to protect the empire of Yukura at all costs. With his mother's tutelage and the company of his fiercely loyal white tiger, Ara, Hiroki aims to become a real Yukimusha soon and be inducted into the secretive walls of the Shimo Palace.
While out hunting, Hiroki and Ara stumble upon a girl deep in the heart of the frozen woods. Naked and mute, she has no recollections of her identity. As Hiroki and Ara decide to take her in for her own safety, they set the wheels of fate into motion.
The Five Empires are in a state of unrest. War is imminent. Only a boy and his tiger would be able to set everything right - or otherwise destroy the very world they love.
